Cayman Compass
Cash and donations stolen from Humane Society Thrift Shop
Sometime over the weekend, someone broke into the Cayman Islands Humane Society Thrift Shop, a charity operation, at Plaza Venezia and stole cash, thousands of dollars’ worth of electronics and donated merchandise, and did extensive damage as well.
The thrift shop’s manager, Aideen Douglas, said she’s not sure when over the weekend the burglary occurred.
“I left here on Saturday evening,” she said. “I finished around 5pm. It either happened Saturday evening or Sunday and then the young lady that came in first thing on Monday morning at 7:30 saw that the back door had been breached.”
Douglas said it appeared the thief — or thieves — took a fair amount of time to gain entry. The steel back door, which had been bolted at the top and bottom with a locked handle in the middle, was pried open. Once access to the back area of the store was gained, a second door was also breached.
